Given the time constraints we were under, the reason for those things was we may not have time to search a dark range for your knife, tomahawk, mags (as for mages we just asked for admin reloads - you should practice those regularly . etc until we could get more light (some already thought we had too much light) I can promise you, you wouldn't have to leave it there "forever" just maybe until about 10PM when we went cold.

My brother was sick so I had to leave right away, so for me it might as well had been forever!!!
I totally understand the reason for the rules, but i was sooo bummed out regardless. On the plus side, you guys did an awesome job with the setup and were really helpful/patient with us!
Things to change for myself next time:
Practice admin reloads and get a dump pouch
Don't borrow my brothers non-adjustable sling only good for strangling yourself! (get another quick-adjust like on my AR)
Put bungee cords on all my throwing weapons!
